We only offer packages because the truth is that no client can return to a point of health within one or two sessions. The complex web of factors that have resulted in ill health have occurred over many years and need to be unpicked. It has taken a long time to get to the point of illness and it's going to take time to feel good again. There is a lot of work to be done by both us as the practitioner and you as the client.

Our programmes and packages are a starting point and allow for increased contact between you and your practitioner to maintain motivation and accountability. This gives for greater client results.

Your practitioner will be there to support you as you make the changes necessary to return to a point of health.

We do however offer a one-off health assessment and there is more information about this on the Services page.

Often the answer to this question is yes. Some conditions are common and we will have seen them many times in clinic whilst others may be much less common and as such we may not have have seen some conditions in clinic. Functional medicine and nutritional therapy however are targeted at the cause of the disease not the symptoms.

We are experienced at unravelling your health history and identifying the triggers of your disease and the factors which are maintaining you at this point of ill health, and by doing this no matter what your diagnosis we will be supporting a return to health.

As nutritional therapy practitioners we don’t treat diseases, we support people with nutritional and lifestyle changes that help to support the way in which the body systems and processes. We help the body to tap into its natural ability to heal and regain balance.

Many conditions come down to having the same underlying causes and we work on supporting those so that we can improve the condition by allowing the body to heal.

The honest answer is we cant be certain. We have a good idea based on the many clients we have supported in the past however as each client is different we could not provide a specific timescale. We are looking at getting beyond the symptoms to the underlying imbalance and causative factors so this takes time.

Important questions to ask yourself which may give an indication of the timescales we may be working together for include;

How long have you been unwell?

How long have you been working on this with the GP or consultants?

How committed are you able to be?

We recommend working with us for a minimum of 6 months depending on the health concerns in question, however this is often the start of your journey and at the end of this time we can see what is next. Many conditions will take 12-18 months or beyond for your health goals to be achieved.

However you can often see the tide of change turning after around 4-6 weeks of commencing work on your programme.

Despite a diagnosis, every client with that diagnosis will have a different health history and a different set of factors that have resulted in the presentation of their symptoms and of that disease. No one diet will work for everyone but there are some elements of dietary change which are important for all clients. Each dietary protocol we put in place is tailored to meet the specific needs and causes of disease in each individual.

No, all tests and supplements will be in addition to the consultation/package fees. You can read more about testing on the Testing page.

The cost of nutritional therapy is due to the individual nature of the process and the length of time dedicated to each client. Unlike some other alternative therapies whereby you may pay solely for your one hour in the clinic, we as your practitioners will be spending many hours on your case both before and after each session we have together in the clinic. You are not paying for our time, you are paying for the impact that working with us will have on your life such as;

Reduced pain,

Reduced fatigue,

Greater enjoyment of life,

Greater ability to play with your children,

Reduced time spent trying to find answers to your health concerns.

Reduced money wasted on the wrong supplements

BUT..... It is important to see that this is not an expense, it is an investment for life and for your health, and investing in your health is a choice, just as going on holiday or buying that new car is a choice. If you have been suffering from chronic long term ill health you will understand the importance of achieving wellness and investing in yourself.

Unfortunately we live in a society that has not prioritised health in recent history and as such many of us are now having to take control of our health and put our own time, effort and money into what we know is as the most important thing to the enjoyment of our lives. Our Health.

We will always work within the budget discussed with each individual client and have a range of options available to testing to help you stay within your budget whilst still enabling us the insight into your health concerns that is needed.

Modern/conventional medicine for the most part is looking at treating symptoms which is why most medicines have to be taken for the long term, whereas we at the Surrey Centre for Nutrition are looking at identifying and targeting root cause factors for longer term improved health and reduced symptoms.

We will work together to give the body the chance to do what it needs to do to support itself through the challenges to your body that modern life presents.

As much as we would love to we cannot promise you a cure as no one can. Many health concerns cannot be “cured” but can be supported through the correct protocols which enable you to live a healthful life.

We will absoultely work to identify factors that you can then target with the nutritional and lifestyle protocols that we put in place for you. A consistent approach to applying these protocols show the greatest positive change. Working with your practitioner is a partnership and together profound results can be achieved as evidenced by our clinic testimonials.

Our practitioners are here to help return you to a point of health and to meet your goals so that you can live life unrestricted by ill health. However this is only one of the benefits of working with a qualified practitioner on your health.

We understand that there is a wealth of information available online and in books, podcasts, webinars, courses etc available, some good, and some less so, however due to the individual nature of health it is unlikely that without the personalised approach that working with a practitioner can provide, much of this information may have little benefit.

We are here to help you cut through all of the information available, to take away your need for continual researching so that you can live your life whilst we take the weight off of your shoulders whilst you heal.

Our practitioners are here to support and guide you through the process of returning to wellness, providing a sounding board for your questions and queries and backing you through your transformational journey.
